New studies have
revealed the power of Vitamin D to reduce inflammation and pain, operating at the DNA level to
regulate genes to reduce inflammation.
This information sends a clear message to all those people out there
that any kind of pain or ongoing inflammation, you should first do a test for
Vitamin D called the 25-hydroxy vitamin D Test, and if found below normal,
first thing to do is to optimize your vitamin D level as a key aspect of
solving inflammatory problems.
Research has also
brought out a new light on this important Vitamin that is required for your
body and helpful to fight inflammation.
The research shows a new receptor for Vitamin D on our DNA. When the
Vitamin D lands on this receptor, then the core gene signaling takes place that
reduces inflammation. This is a powerful
anti-inflammatory mechanism of our body.
If the person is lacking Vitamin D then this receptor cannot possible be
activated in an optimal way, placing the person at higher risk for magnified
inflammation from any health issue.
Vitamin D also helps
control calcium and phosphate levels in your body. Vitamin D is essential for strong bones,
since it helps the body to use calcium from the diet. Deficiency in Vitamin D has been strongly associated
with rickets, this disease is in which the bone tissue doesn’t mineralize
properly, leading to soft bones and skeletal deformities.
For some of us, in spite
of taking in sun shine Vitamin D, there may be deficiency in Vitamin D, it
could be due to
Medical problems affects
body’s ability to create Vitamin D
Fat cells may also pull
Vitamin D out of the blood make it unavailable to the rest of the body
People who deliberately avoid sun exposure, thinking of high
risk of skin cancer
Having naturally dark
skin, which lower levels of vitamin D-binding protein, thus causing Vitamin D
deficiency.
If we go into details of
the myriad benefits of Vitamin D, there will be pages to fill, hence a separate
episode on Vitamins only will be published at a later stage.
